HSN 3001 90 10 (Of human origin) is subject to Wildlife Crime Control Bureau (WCCB) clearance under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1962 and CITES provisions, which apply to human and animal biological material under this tariff line. Import of human biological material for biomedical purposes is referred to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) as the nodal implementing agency under Policy Condition 1 of Chapter 30, while drug-category consignments require a valid import licence and registration certificate uploaded in e-Sanchit.
- Registration certificate from CDSCO
- Import licence for drugs from CDSCO
- Certificate of Analysis from exporter
Procedural directions for customs clearance are issued by: Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
- 1Verify WCCB and CITES compliance before shipment: the consignment must satisfy the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1962 as amended and any applicable CITES permit requirements. For human biological material imported for biomedical research or diagnostic purposes, obtain ICMR referral clearance under Policy Condition 1 of Chapter 30 prior to filing the bill of entry.ITC (HS) Import Policy Condition 1 of Chapter 30 · Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1962 · CITES
- 2Ensure the following documents are uploaded in e-Sanchit before the bill of entry is processed: Certificate of Analysis — Drug (document code 0010dc), Batch Release Certificate (document code 0030dc), Label of Consignment (document code 0110dc), Registration Certificate — Drugs (document code 101dc1), and Import Licence for Drugs (document code 9111dc). Absence of any mandatory upload will prevent customs out-of-charge.CCR mandatory document list · e-Sanchit document codes 0010dc, 0030dc, 0110dc, 101dc1, 9111dc
The most common error on this tariff line is treating the drug-licence upload as sufficient and overlooking the ICMR referral requirement for human biological material imported for biomedical purposes. These are parallel and independent obligations: a current drug import licence and a valid registration certificate satisfy the CDSCO overlay, but human biological material for biomedical use additionally requires ICMR nodal-agency clearance under Policy Condition 1 of Chapter 30 — failure to obtain it exposes the consignment to detention and referral delay at the port of entry.
